Suara.com – The Chamber of Deputies and the government finally agreed to ratify the Work Creation Law Plan. The agreement was carried out through the results of the plenary session this afternoon.
Although the bill is still considered imperfect and may harm society. One of them are women.
The program coordinator of the National Executive Board for Women, Arieska Kurniawaty, said that at least 5 notes in the Omnibus Job Creation Bill could threaten the sovereignty of women.
First, this bill is seen as a step back from the government’s commitment to gender analysis in the environment through Amdal (Environmental Impact Analysis) and KLHS (Strategic Scoping Study).
“In the ministerial regulation and clearly mentioning women as one of the interest groups that should be involved in the AMDAL and KLHS consultations, the government can be overridden through this regulation,” Arieska said in an online discussion held on Monday (10/5/2020).
Second, the omnibus law facilitates or guarantees ease of investment in ownership and control of land, which in effect displaces people.
According to him, for women the situation should be more difficult because this will widen the inequality experienced by the government.
“Third, we will see how this bus threatens food security, one of which is due to the fact that there are provisions that equalize the position of national food production and national reserves with food imports as a source of food supply.” , He said.
Arieska said the domestic market was flooded with imported materials.
This is clearly detrimental to women who are partly subsistence food producers.
As for the fourth threat, the Omnibus Law, it has worsened the protection rights of women workers.
“I do not know if she is left out due to menstruation or miscarriage because she only mentions the annual leave or other long leaves that are regulated at work. And the fifth point for us is the massive land grabbing, the difficulty of job opportunities and the reduction of labor rights encourages labor migration, “he said.
In addition, Arieska emphasized, the rejection of the Omnibus Law for the Creation of Jobs must be expressed. Measures like mass strikes can have a big effect.
“That is why it is important that we consolidate ourselves to express our rejection and in fact we have to go on strike because if we stop the world we stop,” he said.
